Learn about AASLH's STEPS program, a self assessment for small/mid size heritage organizations, June 27 online
Is your organization in need of a jumpstart, guidance, a course correction, or all three? Do you know your site has some issues but don't know where to start, or how to get others on board to fix things? The AASLH Standards and Excellence Program for History Organizations (STEPS)<https://u83566.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.3FQbrsGGjnR1XB61TRlexj6HJ5XDaAUN5QGuc-2Fqyg2PNR8pDKnfYqLK9I5ffdPSbNyd8PtQBNAUnGmABHSsfqw-3D-3DZkXW_dQQJK-2Bh2VwYZPbMqkB87WMSaHSrB2Cpyat6DlFx8xgmqbu3irjtssH68i2Qnpd-2Ftibq35njLfGe1RP0eD19dmbA9cViCftexRTalgOeEnBB2M8EWTMPOKM4mmiUdrj7gzn7EERipiYyurokROjDYLrUR2v7C4WjwkIg6lCr-2FX7c1hWdG-2BLy9fosKOKhmiJKRq8PmmTgKEvcxxhcZLaVdLFrIiCqGMQ7ClnM74VdmnnvUysQ846y2hwYomvlM3ICOVd3NrGIowlggtvgxAM7Mif2UE-2FBoEU4EYMMeg4Hq6p487O7AytCFY64fQKr-2Fe10utDMyjSYdngYKAIKX86vdqIJc450D29VHY1OoYHiijIVS7f0dXrBzVWW7mFhOA3RfZ7AIDPZoSTxdaqPtsO0n4iwYWxSaIytDBviezUm-2B8oBiUdSNNfLgoSc99K6h-2FAcTkL42V-2FLN4rpZyfzjA7g0O2lbEzmnph6t1wbcSzVGbLIp7lK2YO6VAylhFI0nmwA0gvIBwFan5aWnyvDq1JGra0fIR5weNOAmLiN10XhjC5LuI5DqQMXyh7dbK0Kgx3FIYosz-2FMzdhYTaK1cyKLQmxIBz4NBTQZtIeF0uSrvwXwSNDymvIrZKuP88jeoIRJfDJ-2FkUZRceb7oB1GJjvVLdAuJZ3tCKuseIoYOMv9S-2FHWg-3D> can help. To date, hundreds of organizations around the country have enrolled in STEPS to help them build strong foundations for future growth, meet the legal and ethical obligations of a modern history institution, and set reasonable goals for progress on the things that matter most to their communities.

STEPS is a self-paced, self-assessment program for small- and mid-sized organizations, including those managed solely by volunteers. The program includes a workbook, an online forum to connect with other participants, discounts on other AASLH Professional Development offerings, and progress certificates. STEPS takes the standards and goals of the public history/museum fields and breaks them down into practical advice for busy history people. You do not need a history degree or formal history or museum training to use STEPS. STEPS is for everyone, at every level, at every type of site, doing every kind of history work.

Through the six chapters of Mission, Vision, and Governance; Audience and Community Engagement; Interpretation; Stewardship of Collections; Stewardship of Historic Structures and Landscapes; and Management, STEPS guides you through the basics of good history work. The workbook guides your organization in assessing policies and practices, and can be used to educate staff, volunteers, and boards about operating a museum, historical society, or site.

Join us for this free webinar to hear how STEPS can help your organization create a road map for meaningful change.

Safety Resources
Take 5 at 2 is a motto used in first responder communities that reminds folks to put safety first. It's a great motto to embrace this June, since it's National Safety month! Simply, it means take 5 minutes at 2pm every day to think about something safety related or take care of yourself personally. Although, anytime is a good time to take stock of safety in your collections and facilities, preservation or restoration project, or historic cemetery.  To help with your safety thoughts, check out these Oregon Heritage resources:

  *   Cemeteries | Unstable markers can be major hazards causing injury, and even death. Read up on the Historic Cemeteries Commission's suggestions<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OCHCPPUnstableMarkers.pdf> on what to do with these markers.
  *   Preservation | Building Codes are instituted in part to support increased life safety in structures, including historic ones. What can you do to meet code while also maintaining character? Check out this Oregon Main Street produced video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxZAV2JAlik> to find out!
  *   Collections & Facilities | The Disaster Planning Heritage Bulletin<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/HB27_Disaster_%20Plan_and_Response.pdf> suggests all facilities conduct a hazard analysis & start building the beginnings of your plan using the PReP model<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/OC2C_PReP.doc>.
